Description
Lulibet Spray is an antifungal medicine that is used to treat fungal skin infections such as athletes' feet (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), jock itch (fungal infection of the skin in the groin or buttocks), ringworm (fungal skin infection that causes a red scaly rash on different parts of the body), etc. Lulibet Spray works by killing the fungus by damaging their cell wall formation.
Lulibet Spray may cause some side effects like burning, irritation, itching, and redness at the application site. These symptoms last only for a very few days and disappear with time. Seek a doctor's consultation if these side effects do not resolve with time or worsen. Do not use this spray if you are previously allergic to it.
Lulibet Spray should be sprayed as a thin film to the affected area 1-2 times a day. Clean and dry the affected area before application. Keep the affected area clean and dry because the presence of water can increase fungal growth. Avoid getting it in your eyes, nose or mouth. Rinse immediately with plenty of water if accidental exposure occurs.
Lulibet Spray can take a few weeks for the infection to clear and a few months before your skin returns to its normal colour. Inform your doctor if the infection has not cleared up after four weeks of treatment. This medicine should be used in children only upon your doctor's advice.
Lulibet Spray can be effective when you share the information about the usage of any other cream, lotion or intake of any steroidal medicine with your doctor. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or are breastfeeding.

Tinea cruris or jock itch is a fungal infection on the moist and warm areas of the body like the genitals, inner thighs and buttocks. This infection is more common in people who sweat a lot, who are overweight or who wear tight-fitting clothing. The rashes may burn or feel itchy, and your skin may be flaky or scaly. Lulibet Spray is used in the treatment of Tinea cruris.
Tinea Corporis
Tinea corporis or ringworm is a rash on the skin caused by a fungal infection. It is not caused due to a worm as its name suggests.

Lulibet Spray is used in the treatment of Tinea corporis.
